It’s very hands-on says John Benton, member of the USA 2010 Mens Olympic Curling Team and Fogerty’s director of curling. “Within minutes, participants will be throwing rocks and sweeping,” Benton said. “We’ll finish the session playing a mini game.”
Novice curlers will have the opportunity to enroll in a four-week instructional curling league. Actual 14-week inaugural leagues are open for registration with play beginning Jan. 6.
Anyone is invited to enroll from Novice to Olympian.
